Commercial Garden Waste Collection: How It Works
-
Tell us about your garden waste
Tell us about the type, volume and frequency of green waste you produce. We’ll send a tailored quote within one hour.
-
Free bin delivery
We deliver the right containers to your site, whether that be wheelie bins, bags or skips, with no delivery, rental or hidden fees.
-
Fill your bins safely
Keep garden waste contained and free from plastic, rubble, soil, general waste and other contaminants unless your collection has been set up to accept them.
-
Scheduled collections
Collections are arranged through registered waste carriers on the agreed schedule. Suitable green waste is then transferred to an authorised composting, recycling or treatment facility.
What garden waste do we collect?
If your business generates garden waste, we can collect and dispose of it. Green waste we collect includes:
- Grass cuttings
- Leaves
- Hedge trimmings
- Weeds
- Dead plants and flowers
- Prunings
- Twigs and small branches
- Bark
- Unwanted bulbs and plants
- Suitable plant and grounds-maintenance waste
Do not place invasive plants such as Japanese knotweed into a standard garden waste collection. These materials need specialist handling and disposal to prevent them spreading. Keep soil, stones, rubble, treated wood and other non-green materials separate unless they are included in an agreed mixed collection service.

Which bins and containers suit garden waste?
The best container depends on the type and volume of garden waste you produce. Wheelie bins suit regular grass, leaves and small clippings, while bags work for lower-volume jobs. Larger branches, bulky vegetation and project waste may need a skip or separate collection arrangement.

240 Litre Wheelie Bins
Ideal for grass, leaves and hedge trimmings.
-
Commercial Waste Bags
Useful for smaller gardening jobs and quick collections, ranging from 40-80 litres.
-
Skips
Suitable for mixed green waste, soil, branches and bulky materials. Comes in various sizes.

- Leaves
- Hedge clippings
- Weeds
- Prunings
- Twigs, small branches, and bark
- Windfall fruit
- Unwanted seeds, bulbs, and plants
-
Can you burn commercial green waste?
Burning commercial green waste should not be done, as the smoke it releases adds to air pollution levels. There’s also a risk when burning commercial green waste of the fire spreading out of control, which could damage property and endanger human life. Always dispose of green waste responsibly and send it for composting where possible.
-
How do you shred green garden waste?
Use a shredder to reduce the volume of green garden waste. If you regularly need to shred garden waste then investing in one that’s a good size for the jobs you do may be best. Otherwise, you can hire a shredder for green garden waste that may offer a more cost-effective solution.
-
Does garden waste need to be bagged?
Garden waste doesn’t need to be bagged. You can place it in a bin or a container loose. The garden waste will be sorted at the disposal or recycling centre and any plastic bags and other contaminants removed at this point. You could bag up garden waste for storage before pouring it into a bigger bin loose.
-
How do you dispose of commercial garden waste?
It must be collected by a licensed waste carrier or transported by a business with a valid upper-tier waste carrier registration. Green waste is usually composted, recycled or processed at specialist facilities.
-
What bin is required for garden waste?
Most businesses use 240-litre wheelie bins, garden waste bags, or skips, depending on the volume and type of waste.
-
Where does garden waste go to be disposed of?
Green waste is taken to commercial composting or recycling facilities. It is shredded, processed and turned into compost or soil improver for agricultural and landscaping use.
-
Can businesses take garden waste to a local recycling centre?
Most council-run recycling centres do not accept commercial waste, so you must use a licensed waste contractor.
